Two cowboys come upon an Indian lying on his stomach with his ear to the ground. One of the cowboys stops and says to the other, “You see that Indian?” “Yeah,” says the other cowboy.”Look,” says

When they finally stand up, the cowboys feel a sense of peace wash over them, their hearts lightened by the experience. They thank the Indian for sharing his wisdom and continue on their journey, forever changed by the encounter.

From that day on, whenever they ride across the open plains, the cowboys remember to pause and listen. And though they may never fully understand the mysteries of the earth, they take comfort in knowing that they are part of something much greater than themselves.
